[tri-med] HANNAH IS HOME!!!!!

We were released from the hospital yesterday! And WITHOUT the feeding 
tube!!!  They decided that the weight issue wasn't related to the RSV so it 
wasn't a reason to keep her and they would let her pediatrician deal with 
it out of the hospital. Donn talked to the other pediatrician in the 
practice on Saturday and she said to bring Hannah in on Monday or Tuesday 
to see Dr. Fox. We will be calling them again shortly to see which is 
better. (When Donn talked to the hospital doctor on Sunday he learned that 
the doctor knows our pediatrician. He was 2 years behind her in med school!)

Hannah seems to be doing fine. She is sounding more "normal" when feeding. 
We have charts all over the kitchen now to show her formula recipe and keep 
track of what she eats and how much she takes. There is no way she is going 
to hit the 24 ounces the nutritionist "recommends" the way she is going.

It's just so good to be home!!! We all slept so much better. Thank you all 
for your thoughts and prayers.
